Ginger Poached Apricots

Ingredients

1½ cups water
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon very thinly sliced crystallized ginger
4 ripe, fresh apricots, halved and pitted

Preparation

  1. Combine water, brown sugar and ginger in a medium saucepan. Add apricots and bring to a simmer over medium heat; simmer, turning once, until just tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the apricots with a slotted spoon; increase the heat to high and boil until the liquid is reduced to a syrup, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the skins from the apricots, if desired, and serve drizzled with the syrup. This delicious dessert can be served over Greek yogurt for a special breakfast or over vanilla frozen yogurt for a quick and impressive dessert.
